Thanks Howard.
That certainly stopped the core dump.
The only issue now seems to be CPU. During these times of unusually high
load, slapd seems to use enough of the CPU to cause responses to be slow.
Slow enough for IMAP ldap auths to timeout. Everything comes good once the
mail flow slows.
Maybe I just need a faster box.
